Muse - Undisclosed Desires (Song)
Undisclosed Desires, a recent track off of Muse’s newest record The Resistance, is a song which I have been playing over and over on loop for about the past two days because I simply just can’t get over it, and therefore I felt a review on it would be …
Cheap Trick-Dream Police (song)
I recently bought the Cheap Trick authorized greatest hits CD and one of the songs that really appealed to me was the song, Dream Police. It’s a song that has that really catchy feel to it especially with the synthesizer melody in the background. The story of the song …

“Black Sails In The Sunset” by AFI
“Black Sails In The Sunset” is one of the premier punk albums of the 90s. Put simply, it is a solid record with no filler, and provides an hour of some of the best and fullest punk of the 1990s. It is certainly AFI’s best record in my opinion. …
“Play” (1999 Moby Album)
I have known Moby as a well respected electronica musician who has been in the music business since the early nineties. His music climax, in my opinion, was this very album, “Play” (1999). (In fact, this album saved his career!) I have listened to this album since about 2005 …
Dean Markley: Misfits Skullbuster Electric Gutar Strings
Sick and tired of breaking 2-4 conventional guitar strings a week, I decided I needed to upgrade to something that can take a real beating without breaking. My playing style goes anywhere from horror punk, like older Misfits music, to deathrock, like Samhain, to rapid hardcore punk, meaning I …
The Offspring Smash Album
This album is the album that allowed The Offspring to enjoy mainstream success, and for good reason! This is easily one of their best albums with some of their best songs. This album and Americana are my absolute favorites from this band. This album has some really classic stuff …
Liquid Dreams by Otown
Liquid Dreams is a challenge to sing for me. It has an upbeat style and fast. I lose my breath at some parts and you will see all my saliva getting out of my mouth as I continue to sing the song. I watched the video of this song …
High School Musical 2 Soundtrack
It is a very good idea of the organizers or whoever they call to compile the 2nd version soundtrack title, High School Musical 2. I find arrangement truly amazing and this soundtrack is something that I always put on and listen to while cooking, doing some exercises or …
Suicide Silence - The Cleansing (Album)
I have been listening to this album for over a week now. I even listen to it in bed before I sleep. The reason for this is very simple. It’s brilliant. Where do I even begin to review this band? First of all they call this genre Deathcore. I …
Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong (Song)
I Might Be Wrong is a song by Radiohead which appears on their record Amnesiac. The track opens up with some echo-like effects before the main guitar riff comes in. I must say right here that if you want to listen to this song, you’ll either have to enjoy …

Hoobastank (rock band)
Hoobastank was one of those bands that I remember had a lot of hits when I was a teenager. I wasn’t a huge fan per se, but I did like a lot of their music. These days, when going through some of their earlier music and listening to some of …
Elvis Presley: Blue Hawaii
Oh, man, the good old days. Remember when Elvis Presley was an actor wearing those Hawaii clothes and little flowers around his neck? Well, I do. Growing up in my house, my dad constantly had an Elvis movie on. The Album, Blue Hawaii was released by RCA LSP/LPM in …
“I Kill Hippies” 7″ by Jack Tragic & The Unfortunates (Single, 1983)
Jack Tragic & The Unfortunates were punk band from Connecticut, USA, who released full-blown, phenomenal hardcore during the time punk was on its way down. These guys were just about as obscure as they got and seemed to surface a couple years late. Their 1983 single, “I Kill Hippies”/”Mind …
The Rolling Stones - New Faces (Song)
New Faces is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Voodoo Lounge. New Faces starts off with a harpsichord part, something I wasn’t expecting at all, which gives the song sort of a royal or majestic feeling. Jagger comes in with the vocals of the …
Step Up 3d Soundtrack Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (Song)
When I watched the movie Step Up 3d there was a scene in which the actors where all breakdancing and the main actress and actor were showing their moves together, and the song had a really beat to it and it really stuck on my mind. I searched for …
Just to see you smile by Tim McGraw
Just to see you smile is one of Tim McGraws many great songs. It is about a boy who quits his job so he can be with a girl. It seems a bit foolish to quit a job, but I guess it shows his dedication to the girl that …
Bob Dylan - Yea! Heavy And A Bottle Of Bread (Song)
Yea! Heavy And A Bottle Of Bread is a song by Bob Dylan And The Band which appears on their album The Basement Tapes. The track starts off with a very simple guitar strumming pattern which is somewhat reminiscent of Dylan’s earlier work but to no major extent once …
Iowa, 2001 Album by Slipknot
Iowa is a great metal album. This album firmly establishes what metal music should be like. And I find it truly amazing how such a great metal album came out exactly at the right time, from the point of view of the state of the music industry. Due to …

Megadeth - Black Curtains (Song)
Black Curtains is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track starts off with an extremely generic rhythm from Mustaine whcih makes me dearly hope that something better will soon follow this intro. The verse soon kicks in and this section is slightly better although …
Poison Seven Days Live DVD
I am a huge fan of Poison, so when I saw this DVD at Best Buy for $15, I knew I had to have it. Poison is a great rock band and one that certainly brings back memories to me. I remember sitting in my room, listening …

One of my favourite alternative rock bands since I discovered my love for rock music in high school is the band Chevelle. I discovered them in high school when I saw one of their music videos playing on MTV one day after school, and I fell even more in …
Savage Garden
I love all of Savage Garden Songs; I bought their CDs, bought their extra albums and enjoyed every hit that made it to the charts. Their first hit was “To the moon and back”, with a different twist to the song’s melody and is kind of unique to be …
Music From the Elder by KISS
“In a world without heroes, there’s nothing to be. Its no place for me” is one of my favorite lyrics from “Music From the Elder” by KISS. I feel it is a very powerful line. It comes from the song “A World Without Heroes”, which …
Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love”
“Crazy Love” by Michael Buble is the latest album by a young man who has been quietly building a reputation as a modern-day Frank Sinatra. He draws upon a similar body of music and brings to it a freshness that it surprising in a canon which most observers would …

Garth Brooks sings a song called Standing Outside the Fire. It is about a group of people who are often left out when it comes to even some of the simplest events. Some of them have special needs and against all odds try to win a race against …
Can’t Fight This Feeling (song) REO Speedwagon
First, I never thought that REO Speedwagon is the name of the band who sings this song. I thought that REO Speedwagon is a name of a person. I was first introduced to REO when I was in third grade and I remember this song is playing on school …
Nine Inch Nails - Piggy (Song)
Piggy is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Downward Spiral. Something I’ll mention right away is that this song features real drums which is something Nine Inch Nails really don’t do all that often, but more importantly, the drums are pretty important to …
Slayer - Disciple (Song)
Disciple is a song by Slayer which starts out with a somewhat slow rhythm in comparison to an average Slayer song to be honest. When Araya first came in I thought his vocal tone was going to be absolutely terrible, and although it seems slightly bad on this track, …
Nickelback
Nickelback is my favorite band. They sing so many good songs like Someday, this is how you remind me, photographs, if everyone cared, and rockstar. I love to just relax in my room and listen to the best band sing their hearts out. They are a …
Boys II Men
The all male musical group Boys II Men was an African AMerican soul music group who was for the most part poular from the early to late Nineteen Nineties. Thus I would hear their songs throughout my childhood being played on the radio, and I would even see their …
CD: Dream Theater: Octavarium
Octavarium is a rock music CD by Dream Theater. Although it is not my favorite of their CD’s it is still very good.
I always like how Dream Theater can start with one instrument and gradually add instruments into a great rock sound. However, this effect was overdone …
Take on Me by A-Ha
This song was released around 1984. There are so many versions of this song nowadays and I think all are equally good. The Irish boy band A1 has their own version of this song but this is originally sang by A-Ha. Each version is a bit different but equally …
Yahweh (song by, u2)
U2 is an Irish rock band and one of their CD goes by the name of “How to dismantle an atomic bomb.” I decided to pull it out of my music collection and give it a listen, since I was in the mood to hear some of their music. …

One Of The Boys by Katy Perry
Another great and talented singer would be Katy Perry and in One Of The Boys by Katy Perry; the title of her album, I can’t help but to compare her voice to Gwen Stefani of No Doubt. But she has her own identity voice and not quite Gwen. …
Sepultura Roots

The Doors - Take It As It Comes (Song)
Take It As It Comes, a track from The Doors’ self-titled debut record, is certainly one of the more well-known tracks on this album, although I could say that about a lot of the songs on this record, and I can easily see why. The track is an extremely …
Metallica - Ride The Lightning (Song)
Ride The Lightning, the title track of Metallica’s second release, is a song where I believe you can hear some aspects of Kill —˜Em All blended with some new aspects from Ride The Lightning. The reason I say this is because the music to …
Dont Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
A big hit from the band Blue Oyster Cult is their song Don’t Fear The Reaper off their Album Agents Of Fortune. I really like this song because I’ve always loved the story behind it which is about eternal love but many fans interpret the song as a murder …
Jefferson Airplane - Aerie, Gang Of Eagles (Song)
Aerie (Gang Of Eagles) is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their album Long John Silver. The song starts out with some guitar leads along with an electric violin and I must admit that the introduction of this song has a very nice sound to it, multiple …
